A Mobile Solution That Works For You
RETAIL PRICE VS WHOLESALE PRICE
When you buy from a telco store you’re buying tech support and backup.
Same with the Outdoor Phone Store experience. Our prices ensure there’s parts in stock for your phone if ever needed, and your phone is repaired promptly, because downtime at $50 an hour quickly adds up, right?
We source phones from the highest quality factories. Sure, it costs a little more, but their reliability leads the pack. That cheap bargain picked up at near wholesale won’t look so ‘bargainy’ if it glitches after a few weeks and the seller can’t help sort it.
Deal with the experts.

Unihertz Tank 3 Rugged Phone, 200MP Camera, Projector, Night Vision, 23000 mAh battery, Android 13, Dimensity 8200, 16GB+512GB

CHIPSET: HELIO Dimensity 8200
ANTUTU SPEED: 940,000
Americans love the Unihertz Tank! It’s not for everyone – weighing half a kilo because of its massive battery it qualifies as a defensive weapon if you are walking down a dark alley – but it’s built like the proverbial for a reason.
Unihertz says you might get up to a hundred days between battery charges, although officially it’s just “more than a week”. Some heavy users say they get 30 days. The point is, if you need a big battery phone for work or play outdoors (hikes, fishing, hunting etc) this phone has a lot more stamina than an EV…no ‘range anxiety’ here.
The Unihertz Tank also has the most powerful torch ever built in to a smartphone (watch the review video in specs below).
